FOXCONN A690GM2MA-8KRS2H DRIVER

For tests with integrated graphics we have used Catalyst 7. It is important to realize that overclocking performance varies by motherboard and is, to some extent, an individual characteristic of each specific unit. Rear panel connectors, notice the two video outputs. This board can house such a card just as well as any full-sized would. However, if lowering Hyper-Transport frequency, for example, doesn't improve overclocking performance, the default multiplier is used instead. This card does not come with the motherboard and it seems that Foxconn does not manufacture it.

In contrast to the rest of companies, Foxconn has chosen to use this chipset exclusively for making microATX boards without the support for HDMI, this chipset's key feature, even in the higher-end versions. In order to evaluate the overclocked system's stability, we load Windows XP and run performance tests built into WinRAR Tools menu - Benchmark and hardware test for 10 minutes.

This choice of components is quite good. Video 3Digests Video cards: We don't even have to take into account that boards based on integrated chipsets are rarely equipped with graphics cards with bulky cooling systems. Foxconn hasn't produced motherboards on AMD chipsets under its brand before.

The northbridge heatsink's fins are oriented perpendicular to the processor socket, so the CPU fan cannot help with cooling it. This is simply great, especially if you think that the primary target of this motherboard is a690g2mma-8krs2h home PCs.

It is important to realize that overclocking performance varies by motherboard and is, to some extent, an individual characteristic of each specific unit.

Besides, there are quite a few other boards based on AMD G that rightfully deserve their attention. Non-standard settings were not tested for operability. Rear panel connectors, notice the two video outputs.

Foxconn AGM2MA-8KRS2H AMD Socket AM2 Motherboard Review

Conclusions We were pleased with the board from the technical standpoint and with the way it was equipped. Thankfully, the chipset is still efficient enough and its functionality totally fits with the modern requirements.

Consumed Power, Energy Consumption: Another positive feature is the quite rarely seen hardware BIOS write-protection with the use of a jumper. When the integrated graphics card is used, its performance drops a little more in computational tests, while the game tests produce equal results. USB ports are equipped with edges, which is another sign of user-friendliness.

Applying this test procedure, we are able to effectively use all of the test board's supported abilities, including increasing processor core voltage, and if necessary, correcting multipliers and adjusting system and peripheral bus frequencies.

However, if lowering Hyper-Transport frequency, for example, doesn't improve overclocking performance, the default multiplier is used instead. As it is targeted to digital home PCs, it should have at least one coaxial SPDIF out to enable users to connect the motherboard directly to a home theater receiver using digital connection.

This overclocking result is not extraordinary. It allows connecting 7.

Yet the low overclocking potential was somewhat disappointing. The supply voltage stabilizer is enhanced by using chokes with United Chemi-Con capacitors.

For tests with integrated graphics we have used Catalyst 7. The Foxconn model was not designed for such enthusiasts. The board successfully reverted to default settings in cases of excessive overclocking, no problems there.

For this reason, it is impossible for us, and any other review, to determine the overclocking potential of any board with megahertz precision.

In addition, the set contains Fox LiveUpdate for updating the BIOS automatically with the ability to search for a new version on the manufacturer's web-site. This time there is an abundance of timings, yet the selection of settings has not become more balanced.

Frequency response 40 Hz to 15 KHzdB: The board was provided for tests by the manufacturer Dmitriy Laptev lpt ixbt. On the audio section, this motherboard has eight channels provided by the chipset together with a Realtek ALC codec.

On the other hand, this motherboard provides full 7. This is really a pitty, since this motherboard is targeted to digital home PCs, where the user may want to capture and edit his or her own audio and video files.
